Yes it is!!!!!
Per minute of close voice in the ears (i.e. less distance of the eardrums from the source of sound/music) multiplies the bacteria by 1000times. Hence, people who hear lots of loud music or hear the music using headphones get earwax frequently (and get deaf faster).........

It really all depends on the volume at which you listen to the music. As long as it isn't blasting so loud that people around you can still hear what you're listening to, I think you'll be ok. Keep it at a moderate level if you must use headphones frequently.

The whole younger generation is going to be deaf. Any continual loud sound can over time damage the hearing and some ear phones have been especially incriminated.

Yes... not only from the volume/etc thing that people are always talking about, but also because wearing headphones for only FIVE minutes increases the bacteria in the ears by up to 10,000%!

One thing they say is that if you have an ipod and if the volume is higher than 1/3 of its max volume it is bad for your ears.

That's what they say. Most people listen to music at levels that are way to high for what ears can tolerate. People begin to destroy different levels of hearing, and they don't realize that they're even doing it. Once its gone, is gone!!!!

Been doing it for years. Have great hearing. I can hear stuff other people can't. There is evidence that it does, it fact, damage your hearing. Just don't listen to it so loud that other people around you can hear it and you'll probably be okay.

yes because using them would increase the bacteria living in your ear and if the music is to loud it would hurt your ear drums

Not if you keep it at a reasonable volume. Have heard that is should be low enough to hear normal talking in the room.

only if the music is too loud. the rule of thumb is that it's only bad if someone who doesn't have them in can hear your music.
